Do you think the European Union is a farce?

Sunday, March 27th, 2011

The UK right or wrong tries to spend its way out of recession. Other EU member states decide to tackle the recession by trimming budgets eg France President Sarcozy even critising the UK government for increasing spendind and national debt. A new nuclear power plant is to be built by Spanish workers. Upgrading work on a main A9 is also to be undertaken by Irish workers but is to be paid for out of the UK purse. Surely on this basis money spent to stimulate the UK economy on building projects should use UK workers. There seems to be an imbalance in the way things are done in the EU whereby say a French worker can get work in another EU country while his own countries government is not spending..
Freeman thanks for your answer but did you read the whole question. What im asking – is it fair that the UK as part of the EU should spend money creating jobs for citizens of other EU states. Thats all.
